What is Calico?

100% Bio Degradable Calico is a rough yet refined natural fabric made from cotton.
Calico is commonly used in shopping bags, soft furnishings, fashion, quilting, mining and food industries.
The name comes from the city of Calicut, in the Kerala region of India.

Calico was originally made by the traditional weavers of Calicut called 'chaliyans.'
England banned the importation, wearing or use of the cloth from India in 1700. This was in an effort to support the English textile industry.
There was a ready market for the printed cloth among women at that time who were known as the Calico Madames.
In the end the ban could not be sustained. An attempt to impose it came in 1720 with the Calico Act but it was repealed in 1774.
The effects of this ban almost destroyed the Indian textile industry.
Today calico is the right choice for extensive 100% bio degradable consumer eco friendly requirements.
